Dozy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 You didn't by any chance have some nice, freshly picked mushrooms for breakfast on the camping meet, did you??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 My dad told me the sheep have to have there right legs shortened to stay upright on a hill, he said they took forever to reach the top as they had to spiral their way up it as they could only face one way. I learned the truth in later years. Cows and sheep have telescopic legs so they can adjust the length depending on the gradient of the slope or which direction they are facing. I hope that helps.

Yes I read that any new born sheep will have telescopic legs, the farmers have a special equipment and after 8 weeks old the born lamb`s have them inplanted. Hope this helps.

unuspromulti Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Dont they just bend their knees? Good pic here http://farm1.static.flickr.com/162/339972016_adfede764d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulip Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I can only comment on cattle. Cows don't have strong legs but bulls do. When it's really windy all the cows blow over, tumbling across fields and get blown over cliffs. If you ask a bull why he manages to stay on his feet in high winds he will tell you "we bulls wobble but we don't fall down." The old ones are the best!

Heyesey Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Dont they just bend their knees? All these thoughtful, sensible answers that people have proposed, and you have to introduce a note of silliness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
